The bill establishes that in residential home construction contracts, an accepted bid represents the total amount to be paid unless the parties have a prior written agreement stating otherwise. This means that once a bid is accepted, the contractor cannot increase the bid amount, ensuring clarity and financial certainty for both parties involved in the construction services.

Additionally, the bill includes a codification instruction indicating that the new provisions will be integrated into Title 28, chapter 2 of the Montana legal code. This integration ensures that the new rules regarding construction contract bids are formally recognized within the existing legal framework.
